4:40pm PDT - The update has increased traffic between parts of the system, which hascontributed to the login load and web site issues. We’re working on a two-phased approach to reduce the traffic and to bring additional resources online. - Michael Linden

10pm PDT - We’ve had reports of some problems in Second Life subsequent to the version 1.15.0 update — issues with land transfers, logins, IMs, and the LindEx.

The land transfer problem has been fixed; but to apply the other fixes, we need to shut down Second Life for about an hour, starting at 10am PDT tomorrow morning (Thursday, 26 April). There won’t be a need to download new client software after the Grid comes back up.

Sorry for the inconvenience; the engineers are busy making everything better! - Michael Linden

10:30am - Alas, due to slow “world shout” messaging, the downtime today will run from 10:30am to 11:30am. Sorry about that! - Michael Linden

11:28am - Hmm, bringing up the Second Life servers slower than expected; we should be allowing our Residents back in at 11:45am. Thanks for your patience - Michael Linden
